As your company expands, focus on:
Move to the Office
Do not move until you have $120k in the bank. Old guides said $80k. Due to the 1.7.6 rent increase, $80k will bankrupt you in 4 months.
Late game (Corporation era)
Manage larger teams, multiple simultaneous projects, and high-budget engines.
Focus on AAA titles and long-term franchise management.
Licensing, consoles (if using expansions/mod support), and platform exclusives matter for revenue and fans.
Optimize development pipelines: parallelize work, use QA teams, and maximize engine reuse.
Don’t ignore sound → many players skip it → low review scores.
Please rotate your device to landscape mode for the best experience.
